ahhh, that one. the one in our 2002 325it sport has the round aiirbag cover in
the middle. for all the ergonomic detail they put into cars, they really
dropped the ball on the steering wheel in this car. the designer should be
forced use one of them. i just drove 7 hours in our 325...my hands hurt.

When you get LT FT bank 1 and 2 after a reassemble, make SURE that you do
not have the O2 sensors hooked up in reverse(bank1/bank 2) This is a common
